βλέπετε γὰρ αὐτοὶ δήπουθεν ὅτι τὸ γυμνάσιον ὑμῖν ἄρουραν πεποιήκασιν, ὥστε τὸν Ἡρακλέα καὶ ἄλλους ἀνδριάντας συχνοὺς ὑπὸ τοῦ θέρους ἀποκεκρύφθαι, τοὺς μὲν ἡρώων, τοὺς δὲ θεῶν· καὶ ὅτι καθʼ ἡμέραν τὰ τοῦ ῥήτορος τούτου πρόβατα ἕωθεν εἰς τὴν ἀγορὰν ἐμβάλλει καὶ κατανέμεται τὰ περὶ τὸ βουλευτήριον καὶ τὰ ἀρχεῖα· ὥστε τοὺς πρῶτον ἐπιδημήσαντας ξένους τοὺς μὲν καταγελᾶν τῆς πόλεως, τοὺς δὲ οἰκτίρειν αὐτήν. πάλιν οὖν ταῦτα ἀκούσαντες ὠργίζοντο πρὸς ἐκεῖνον καὶ ἐθορύβουν.
